Dear Mrs Robinson


Dear Mrs Robinson,
I'm sorry for your loss,
Your son was killed today.
Following orders from his boss

He joined us in the front line,
And was shot by friendly fire.
But for the sacrifice he made,
our respect for him is higher
Than it was when he first joined,
So young, strong and willing
To give his life for home and country,
To save his people by killing

Other young and innocent men
Who have no other choice.
With a leader like their own,
They've lost their right to voice
Their own opinions. But
Your son was brave and strong.
He knew his country needed him,
And fought for it all along.

So thank you Mrs Robinson
For giving us your kid.
Now we can all live in peace,
Although he never did

Kill me tonight and I will love again
Leave me to live and I live in pain
Leave me no love and I live in vain
Kill me tonight and kill the pain

"Now we can all live in peace although he never did."
This speaks of the price that many have paid to enable others to enjoy times of peace.
Many want to believe that freedom is free.  James
